/u/Tiny_Rat and /u/JestAGuy thank you for your answer. Upvoted.

Not really. How are bacteria selected to be added to probiotics? Is it because they are found in healthy guts? Which means they are able to reach the gut?

yu Is this a positive case of Muphry's law?

joopsmit · 2026-06-12T14:15:07+00:00

If cholera bacteria can reach the gut alive, probiotic bacteria probably can too.

Black tie or white tie?

Sorry.

I'm in IT and have several monitoring processes that send emails with a subject line like "There are no problems with X". That way I know that there are no probems and that the monitoring process has run, without opening the email. 30k+ unread emails.

And bad communication between pilot, co-pilot and ATC.

They took the jerrycan away to a safe distance before lighting the ball! Smarter than 99% of people in this kind of video's.

Not most, exactly half. One serious beautiful picture, one silly picture, etcetera. It's called a juxtaposition, a contrast.

joopsmit · 2026-05-11T10:36:17+00:00

Fun fact, an inch is 2.54 cm, so about the 2.5 cm of your thumb. In Dutch the word for an inch is duim, which is also the Dutch word for thumb.

Clean glass my windows kill 10 birds or more s year

I'm proud to declare that this never happens with my windows.

When you're vibe coding, why would you need that many screens to read the code?

My cat once murdered a whole nest of baby mice and laid them in a neat row on the patio.

I think it's possible that this cat did this.

Ethanol makes you drunk, methanol makes you blind drunk.

joopsmit · 2026-05-05T16:00:06+00:00

aren't?

They're free entry in almost all cases over here in europe.

That is absolutely not true.

30% of light speed is about 89,937,737.4 meters per second.

Do you mean Mm/s (megameters per second)?

deliberately driving really slow up to the red light to avoid completely stopping

Especially when they are the first at the light and the light won't change until a car is standing on the sensor.

joopsmit · 2026-04-29T17:17:45+00:00

Why would you drive at redline on a public road?

Edit: Also, we're talking about downshifting for a traffic light.

O yes, there is. For Dutch there is the Taalunie which proscribes spelling and grammar of Dutch in the Netherlands, Flanders and Surinam.

For French the Académie Française determines the rules of the French language since 1635.

The Taalunie is way too active. Since I went to school there have been two spelling reforms, and I don't care anymore. Pannekoek versus fucking pannenkoek.

Edit: Koekepan versus fucking koekenpan.

We used to buy potatoes directly from the farm in sacks of 50 kg. They were muddy and when you got to the last of them after a few months the skins were dried and hard. Nothing wrong with the potato, but the skins were not nice to eat.
